She was scheduled to head to Detroit, but once in the air, aides said she\u2019d be making an unscheduled stop and the plane landed at LaGuardia Airport. <\/p>\n<p>Harris arrived at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan, where \u201cSNL\u201d tapes, shortly after 8 p.m., enough time for a quick rehearsal before the show airs live at 11:30 p.m. It is the final \u201cSNL\u201d episode before Election Day on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The visit wasn\u2019t previously announced and an official familiar with Harris\u2019 planning only officially confirmed it for reporters traveling with the vice president moments before the live airing began. The official insisted on anonymity to discuss plans before they were made public.<\/p>\n<p>Harris departed immediately after the opening segment. She told reporters, \u201cIt was fun!\u201d as she boarded the plane to leave New York. <\/p>\n<p>Host John Mulaney and musical guest <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/chappell-roan-interview-olivia-rodrigo-aa86d43c640feb33cb471894bedb7a0e\">Chappell Roan<\/a><\/span> shifted the show away from politics. Neither addressed the election. <\/p>\n<p>Mulaney, the standup comic and former \u201cSNL\u201d writer, hosted for the sixth time and talked about his kids with wife Olivia Munn, Catholicism, and his stint in rehab. <\/p>\n<p>Some expected Roan, the 26-year-old singer who has become a major star in recent months, to make a political statement in her first appearance on the show. She has previously been harshly critical of the Democratic party and declined to endorse Harris, though Roan has said several times she plans to vote for her. <\/p>\n<p>But she played it straight, or as straight as the wildly theatrical performer gets. She sang her hit \u201cPink Pony Club,\u201d on an all-pink set bathed in pink light. <\/p>\n<p>Senator Tim Kaine also made a surprise appearance, in a game-show sketch where the gag was that no one remembered him despite his being Hillary Clinton\u2019s running mate in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been less than eight years. What\u2019s my name?,\u201d he said, as the contestants stood silent and flummoxed. <\/p>\n<p>Rudolph first played Harris on the show in 2019 and has <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/maya-rudolph-kamala-harris-saturday-night-live-1b7649f6ab82fb0d784e9ae05c6a3153\">reprised her role<\/a><\/span> this season, doing a spot-on impression of the vice president, including calling herself \u201cMomala\u201d \u2014 a reference to the affectionate nickname her stepchildren gave her. <\/p>\n<p>Her fellow former cast member Andy Samberg appeared again Saturday night as Harris\u2019 husband, second gentleman <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/doug-emhoff-harris-presidential-bid-4c1c1ae1929aac4b5dc9b4cf6c5ddeb7\">Doug Emhoff<\/a><\/span>, standup comic Jim Gaffigan played running mate Tim Walz, and longtime alum Dana Carvey again played President Joe Biden. <\/p>\n<p>Rudolph\u2019s performance has won critical and comedic acclaim \u2014 including from Harris herself. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaya Rudolph \u2014 I mean, she\u2019s so good,\u201d Harris said last month on ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View.\u201d \u201cShe had the whole thing, the suit, the jewelry, everything!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Jason Miller, a senior adviser to former president and Republican nominee <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a><\/span>, expressed surprise that Harris would appear on \u201cSNL\u201d given what he characterized as her unflattering portrayal on the show. Asked if Trump had been invited to appear, he said: \u201cI don\u2019t know. Probably not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Politicians nonetheless have a long history on \u201cSNL,\u201d including Trump, who hosted the show in 2015 \u2014 though appearing so close to Election Day is unusual. <\/p>\n<p>Hillary Clinton was running in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary when she appeared next to Amy Poehler, who played her on the show and was known for launching into a trademark, exaggerated cackle. The real Clinton wondered during her appearance, \u201cDo I really laugh like that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harris repeated that line in response to Rudolph\u2019s portrayal of her laugh in Saturday\u2019s episode. <\/p>\n<p>Clinton returned in 2016, while running against Trump in a race she ultimately lost. <\/p>\n<p>The first sitting president to appear on \u201cSNL\u201d was Republican Gerald Ford, who did so less than a year after the show debuted. Ford appeared in April 1976 on an episode hosted by his press secretary, Ron Nessen, and declared the show\u2019s famous opening rejoinder, \u201cLive from New York, it\u2019s Saturday Night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama appeared alongside Poehler impersonating Clinton in 2007, and Republican Bob Dole was on the show in November 1996 &#8212; a mere 11 days after losing that year\u2019s election to Bill Clinton. Dole consoled Norm Macdonald, who played the Kansas senator.<\/p>\n<p>Then there was Tina Fey\u2019s 2008 impression of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin \u2014 and in particular her joke that \u201cI can see Russia from my house.\u201d It was so good that Fey eventually won an Emmy and Palin herself appeared on the show that October, in the weeks before the election. <\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Long, Miller and Weissert reported from Washington.
